Abstract

In the era of digitalization, the interaction between humans and machines, particularly in Natural Language Processing, has gained crucial importance. This study focuses on improving the effectiveness and accuracy of chatbots based on Natural Language Processing. Challenges such as the variability of human language and high user expectations are addressed, analyzing critical aspects such as grammatical structure, keywords, and contextual factors, with a particular emphasis on syntactic structure. An optimized chatbot model that considers explicit content and the user’s underlying context and intentions is proposed using machine learning techniques. This approach reveals that specific features, such as syntactic structure and keywords, are critical to the accuracy of chatbots. The results show that the proposed model adapts to different linguistic contexts and offers coherent and relevant answers in real-world situations. Furthermore, user satisfaction with this advanced model exceeds traditional models, aligning with expectations of more natural and humanized interactions. This study demonstrates the feasibility of improving chatbot–user interaction through advanced syntactic analysis. It highlights the need for continued research and development in this field to achieve significant advances in human–computer interaction.
